From the reviews
Coming to AAF has been a life-changing experience. I started this year terrified of heights, with no support system in Connecticut, and no upper body strength. Just three months after my very first class here, i cannot tell you enough about the positive 180° change in my life since then.
I'm going to start this review with a disclaimer... pole fitness is absolutely addictive! I started attending classes a few months ago and after my first class I was hooked! Pole has increased my strength, my flexibility, my coordination and I've made huge improvements in my overall fitness...
I am so glad I finally took the leap, and signed up for these fabulous classes with Aerial Arts Fitness! Coming in for my first session, I had no idea what to expect and was rather nervous as I’m not in the best shape.
This place is amazing. The owner Jenn is not only super sweet, she’s an awesome instructor. I’ve also taken classes with Liz, AJ, Wren, and Tracey and they are all equally awesome, each with their own unique personality, style, and coaching abilities so you really get a well-rounded experience to your training.
Your first pole class at Aerial Arts Fitness
Nervous about your first pole class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects total beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. You don't need to be strong, flexible, or thin to start — pole builds all of that, and your first class is about learning to spin, walk the pole, and hold on, not inverting on day one. What to expect: a warm-up, some conditioning, and a few basic spins or a short combo — it's a real full-body workout, so expect to sweat and to feel it in your arms and core the next day. Rest whenever you need to; no one is watching or judging. What to wear: shorts and a tank or sports bra — bare skin on your arms, legs, and stomach is what grips the pole, so save the leggings for aerial or floorwork. Skip the lotion the day of class; it makes the pole slippery. Grip aids: most studios keep grip liquid (Dry Hands / iTac) on hand, and knee pads make floorwork comfy — ask at the front desk. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people leave their first class already planning the next one.
